Red Cross Bridge Financial Assistance Program
The Red Cross is distributing a second round of financial assistance to individuals and households that continue to experience barriers to recovery from the Palisades Fire or the Eaton Fire.
The Red Cross will begin outreach to specific individuals whose primary residences were located within the disaster-affected areas. For those the Red Cross has contact information for, an invitation to enroll is being sent directly via email or text message from the Red Cross.
If your home is located within the Palisades or Eaton Fire burn zone and you have not received any outreach, please visit redcross.org/CAFireBridge to check eligibility for financial assistance and find locations where you can meet with a Red Cross volunteer to apply in person.
